We collect two types of information on our websites:
This information is used to determine the number of visitors to our site, length of stay and sources of traffic. We collect aggregate data — or totals of those visiting from a domain — not information identifying individual users. We use this information to help improve our site and our service to you. In addition, the type of device you’re using to access our websites and the settings on that device may provide us with information about your device, including what type of device it is and what operating system you’re using. Your device manufacturer or operating system provider will have more details about what information your device makes available to us.

Personal information provided by you: We collect email addresses and other personal information only when you provide it to us. If you fill out a form or survey or request information, we collect your name, address, city, state, zip code, telephone number and email address. We do not store credit/debit card information from donations or purchases at our online store after the transaction has been completed.

We will never give sponsors your mailing details, but if sponsors have something they want to share with you, we (the WPC) may email or mail it to you on their behalf.

We will also ask for your consent to store and retain this data.
